Jumping Pumpkins at the Toledo Zoo

Ever wonder what the Toledo Zoo does with all the pumpkins after its fall events? The pumpkins will provide enriching experiences for many zoo animals Oct. 26 and 27, called Jumping Pumpkins - and it's a great opportunity to see some of your favorite Zoo animals enjoy gourd-y goodness throughout the weekend - all included with the regular zoo admission.

Animals, from monkeys and otters to cassowaries and even elephants, will find pumpkins all around their habitats. Some will make a meal and some will make a mess, but all of them will interact with their environments and engage in naturalistic behaviors, a news release said.

During October, the zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is on the Anthony Wayne Trail, four miles south of downtown Toledo.
